About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular was walking in with his dog one morning when he noticed something strange. The usually quiet hallway outside FirstBank Southwest seemed unusually noisy—like someone was playing an old vinyl record really loud. Curious, the man peered around the corner and saw a delivery driver frantically waving his hands while trying to herd a small herd of pigeons into a cardboard box. Turns out, the noise was actually a scratched-up record being played on repeat by the squawking birds.
2. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, I’ve been trying to withdraw money from my account for days now—why does it always say “Account Closed”?’ The teller smiled gently and replied, 'Sir, your account is indeed closed.'
‘What?! But I just deposited a check yesterday!’ he protested.
She nodded knowingly, ‘Yes, you did. And that’s why it says “Account Closed.” We opened a new one for you.’
He looked confused but then burst into laughter, realizing with a smile that he had accidentally opened a new account while depositing his check.
3. One day, while making routine deposits, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our FirstBank Southwest is now accepting deposits in goldfish.' Confused but intrigued, the delivery driver asked the teller about it later. She smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘It’s just our new promotional gimmick—deposit five goldfish, get one free checking account!’ The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll definitely bring my own fish.’
4. One morning, as customers were lining up outside FirstBank Southwest, someone shouted, ‘Hey, look at that!’ Everyone turned to see a man wheeling in a bicycle, complete with saddlebags full of cash. Nobody knew if it was a prank or a real-life caper. The teller took one look and said, 'We don’t accept bikes for deposits here!' The man just laughed and rode off down the street, leaving everyone staring after him. Since then, whenever anyone mentions FirstBank Southwest, someone always asks, 'Did you hear about the guy who tried to deposit his bike?'
